Bedtime Aphorism: An Anna*

Moon beam’s
fin’lly here
magneting us
‘neath the bed that’s ours
to share, snuggle
forever,
my dear.

In response to Daily Post: Bedtime and Napowrimo Day 13.

 

The number 13 is often considered unlucky, so today I’d like to challenge you to beat the bad luck away with a poem inspired by fortune cookies.

  7. A romantic, lyrical, so poetically-arranged sentence. I especially like “magneting” as a verb. And the word compressions that you make (fin’lly, ‘neath). ‘Tis is a favorite of mine to use, though I might swipe–I mean, uh, borrow with all respect–your own.

      Borrowing is fine, not really borrow because I don’t own them. 😀
